Answer:
200 muffins
Step-by-step explanation:
The selling price of each muffin = $2
The cost price of each muffin = $1.40
The price of electricity = $120
If the number of muffins that Jenny sells in a day is x, then, Jenny's total cost in a day is:
120 + (1.4 * x) = 120 + 1.4x
and the total sales earnings in a day for x muffins will be:
2 * x = 2x
To break even, the total costs in a day must equal to the total earnings. That is;
Solving this:
She must sell 200 muffins in a day to break even.
Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction.
Take the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator, leaving the negative sign on the numerator, and changing the operation to multiplication. Then the equation becomes
For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get
This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 9 and 12 using
